There are literally thousands of services offering SMS from web at very
cheap prices (typically less than EUR0.04 per message). See for example
www.smspop.com. Bearing in mind that GSM users are not charged to receive
SMS the cost is probably comparable with the data packet charges to download
an e-mail to a keitai. Also most operators will allow large numbers (up to
100 per month) of free SMS within their own network from their websites.

However, I cannot send an SMS to anyone in Europe -
at least I do not know of a straightforward way -
because carriers in Europe want to charge a lot for
each SMS, and they can't charge my PC here in Tokyo.
(there may be exceptions, in that sometimes for example
the Swiss Railways as a special promotion offer
100 free SMS per day from their website or something like
that)
